The Gut Stuff: An empowering guide to your gut and its microbes

Description:

‘We became the ‘chief guinea pigs’ for the British Gut Project where we discovered that despite us having 100% the same DNA our guts have only 40% the same microbiota… Thus our ‘gut journey’ began.’

With practical advice throughout from gut experts, this is a fact-packed, achievable guide for better health.

NEW, UPDATED EDITION NOW AVAILABLE ― featuring The Gut Stuff and The Gut-loving Cookbook combined

With a foreword by Tim Spector. Alana and Lisa Macfarlane have spent the past few years interviewing tons of gut experts: scientists, academics, chefs and foodies to get the real scoop and science behind what we eat. We now know how important the gut is to our health and wellbeing, including its impact on our immune system and on diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and even mental health, but The Gut Stuff arms the reader with practical knowledge and tangible tips – both lifestyle and dietary – so they can make easy and life-changing decisions.

Chapters include: Back to School – biology and the microbiome; Mind and Body – the gut and immunity, the gut and exercise, the gut and skin, the gut-brain axis, the gut and sleep, the gut and hormones; Scientific Interlude on Pre- and Probiotics; Bullsh*t Bin – mythbusting nutrition nonsense; What Can You Do – top tips to support your gut; I've Gutta Problem – common digestive issues; The Future of Science; The Gut Glossary.

With practical advice from gut experts, from how to de-stress for your gut to the affects of alcohol on the gut, this is an achievable guide for better health.

Experts include: The Rooted Project, Kimberley Wison, Dr Chris Lutterodt, Professor Glenn Gibson, John Cryan and Ted Dinan, Jenna Macciochi, Miguel Mateas, Renee McGregor, Ruairi Roberston, Sophie Medlin, Dr Rabia and Dr Gautam Mehta.

‘Twins are a great constant for medical research and we became the ‘chief guinea pigs’ for the British Gut project where we discovered that despite us having 100% the same DNA our guts have only 40% the same microbiota, which could explain why our bodies behave so differently. Thus our ‘gut journey’ began.’

About the Author

The Gut Stuff was born in 2017 by co-founders Lisa and Alana Macfarlane (The Mac Twins).  They made it their mission to bring the exciting information they were learning, to the masses (not just the 'wellbeing aware' middle classes) and have since made www.thegutstuff.com the global millennial thought leader in the space. They’ve gained their profile through The Mac Twins DJ’ing  and presenting, and whether performing all over the world for Diet Coke, Armani, MAC Cosmetics, on tour with the UK’s biggest music institution The Official Charts, their primetime radio slots both with Virgin and BBC Radio 1xtra, or opening festival stages across Europe, The Mac Twins’ unique talent is their ability to connect with any audience – large or small – and keep it real.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very annoying read

B.S. · September 23, 2022

I tried to read this, but their writing style is obnoxious. Way too many music references. Just spit out the information we all want to know and save the extra stuff for something else. Pass.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very limited content

J.V. · March 18, 2021

Don't waste your money on the Kindle version...pink backgrounds make it impossible to see the content.

Great informative book

E. · December 10, 2023

Great book. If you have gut issues, which many of us do and I have in mounds!!! Straight talking book that’s in layman’s terms. You’ll learn a lot if you have gut issues. Chewing your food properly and eating fermented foods are the main tips I have taken from this book. Recommended.

Bit childish

j. · August 2, 2022

Im begrudgingly giving this book four stars. It provides a lot of good info in small paragraphs in good sized print, so in that regard it should be an easy read. I'd give it less because I'm finding it difficult to scratch my way through the childish and drawn out way the twins have chosen to deliver the information. However I've just taken one star off because I have to be reasonable.It's a very peppy & probably written to appeal to the masses book. Which is sort of what im struggling with. I don't want to have to follow along with an exuberant story about how the gut is an orchestra. It's just over the top and a bit much, and would probably appeal to teens.Overall though, there's a lot of info written in an aesthetically pleasing way & it's likely the only book any lay person would need, to know the important things on their way to gut health.

A Great Read, feel so informed now on my Gut Health.

d. · February 5, 2021

A fabulous book, it made learning more about how the body works interesting, not a subject we often discuss so a definite if you want to look after your health. I cannot believe that in my sixth decade I knew so little about how to look after my gut.I look forward to seeing what comes next from the Macfarlane Twins.

Hard reading but good content

L.J. · November 1, 2022

The fancy font used make this book a very hard read, you need bionic glasses to read the faint text. White text on light pink F F S ....Otherwise well presented just terribly designed

Very informative.

R. · February 10, 2021

This book is brilliant. Very informative and fun to read. My only criticism is the pink text on white background and vice versa. This made it hard to read in some parts of the book. One star knocked off for this.
